Critic Roger Ebert once said, "I've never seen a Charlie Chaplin short that didn't look as if somebody hadn't dragged it behind a truck for about five miles." However, in recent years, Kino on Video has taken some major steps in remedying this situation. In 1984 Kino released restored analog versions of several Chaplin shorts. And since then they have offered remastered analog versions of Mutual and Essanay Studios output, complete with re-orchestrated musical scores.
